  1. How well is your GPS mount holding up after using it for awhile? I'm thinking of making one also. I looks like it will work quite well.
  2. I'm in Flint area also and I agree. The dealership on Miller Rd. is the same as it was when it was on Fenton rd.. The only thing that changed was the location. You can roam around in their showroom for 30 min. or more before someone talks to you.
  3. I don't like the loud rap musice either. So what I have started to do, if I'm in my cage or on my bike, I pull up next to them and turn up my volume. I listen to Country Western. Boy do I get some p____ed off looks. Try it sometime.
  4. Back to the subject: Dunlop Elite 3's. Love em.
  5. My wife rides a 99 RSTD. Our picture was in Baggers Mag. after Daytona Bike Week 08. Someone here on the forum had the pic posted here. She loves her Bagger.
  6. So do you think we should bail out the banking industry? It seems to me that thier CEOs wasted tons of money. But that's different, right?
  7. I've had Samson full systems, and just slip on mufflers on some of my HDs over the years and they are a very good quality product. Never had a problem with them.
  8. I always go for 2 weeks. No real plans yet, except to get down to Fl. and get a lot of riding in. Only thing that I really plan is to make it to another friend's Pig Roast out in the Mondex outside of Bunnell. We've got plenty of time to plan a meet tho.
  9. I put the Elite 3's on my 07 and really like them. Of course any tire probably would be better than the OEM Bridgestones. Handling was greatly improved.
  10. I'll be at Bike Week, but I stay up in Bunnell with a club member that lives down there. I'm all for hooking up tho, and getting to meet some of you fine folks.
  11. Sound's like the same problem I was having. With mine also, I'd be going down the road with the radio and cb turned off, and the cb would just come on. I just had the dealer change out the controler on the handle bars.
  12. I went back to the dealership this morning and by chance, the Dist. Rep. was there from Yamaha. I explained to him about "THE GHOST IN THE RADIO" and he oked the dealer to put on a new controler. Dealer already had the new controler there just waiting for the ok from Yamaha. So they swapped out the controler. It took a couple hours while I waited.
  13. I'm trying to get the dealership to fix my radio on my 07 RSV. Yamaha says it's a Clairion problem, the dealer can't seem to get a response from Clairion, so I want to call Yamaha Corp. and see if I can get a fire lit under them. Does anyone have the phone number to Yamaha Corp. and maybe a name of someone that I might be able to talk to?
  14. In 1990 I bought a brand new HD FLHS, rode it for 14 yrs. and put 135,000 miles on it. Rebuilt the engine at 52,000 miles but when I sold it, it had 135,000 on the odometer. I'm hoping to get the same kind of mileage out of my 07 RSV without the rebuild of course.
  15. They are Harley Screaming Eagle mufflers. I have a set on my wife's 99 RSTD. She loves them, but riding next to her, they are a little too loud for me. When I'm riding her bike though just cruising around they sound great. But when you ride beside or behind it they are loud.
  16. I just installed a set of Elite 3's on my 07 RSV. I only got 8,300 miles on the stock Bridgestones, didn't like them anyway. First impressions of the Elite 3's, in stock sizes, F&R: Low speed handling much improved, great on pavement with rain grooves, seems to hold the road much better in curves, corners alot better, also they don't growl like the Bridgestones. All in all they handle alot better than the OEM Bridgestones. Also I bought them through SW Moto. Blaine seemed easy to work with, the whole transaction went quit well. I'll keep you updated on my impressions as I get more miles on them. Only got to put on about 100 miles today, but so far so good.
  17. Sounds like the stock Bridgestone tires to me also.
  18. If OCC is so patriotic, how come they always use Rev Tech engines in their bikes? Rev Tech are made in NORTH KOREA, a Communist country. I asked Paul Sr. that question at Bike Week two years ago, and he just glared at me and walked away. Seems he didn't want to talk about it.
  19. My appologies if I affended anyone.
  20. Flint, Mi. has the worst crime rate in the country and all this cop has to do is to out tickets for Novelty Helmets. He tied himself up for almost an hour. No dought, someone during that time was getting victimized by some thug. But he was "keeping the city safe" by giving me a ticket for a novelty helmet?
  21. Here's one to think about. I just recently got a ticket in the city of Flint, Mi. for wearing a helmet ! It was a novelty helmet but it was still a helmet. The cop was a real A__hole too. Wouldn't just give me a ticket and let me leave. OH NO!! He told me I had to call someone to bring me a "DOT Helmet" or he was going to impound my bike. He wrote the ticket for No Helmet. I'm going to fight this one even if I have to go to the Mi. Supreme Court.
  22. I sat on a Cross Bones at a dealership in Ohio, and really didn't care for the feel of it. When I sat on it and pulled it up off the kick stand it felt very bulky. Maybe when you ride one it is different. Sure does look good though.
  23. I have the Motion Pro and you don't need the adapters. The hoses that come with it fit just fine.
  24. She's riding a 99 TD. I bought it on e-bay in 04, and it only had 3,000 miles on it. I think the guy I bought it from in New Jersey went down on it and got scared and parked it. The wife loves it. Already had the Baron's rear lowing kit on it when I bought it.
